Hawk and Raven Declare Media Unable to Differentiate Between Political Polls and Political Fate

70

By Ghost32

The hawk and the raven were flying so high, sharing airspace in the Arizona sky

Hawk said to Raven the view is so clear, I can see all the way to November from here

But there's a big smog bank where the media dwells and the prognosticators are casting their spells

Political fortunes are endlessly told by the talking heads who are getting so bold

Declaring they know for every candidate the ins and the outs and the ultimate fate

Yet the only sure thing as they're singing their song is that nine times out of ten they are horribly wrong

They go on TV and get paid nine to five, but the People aren't buying their shuck and jive

Instead of being cast in concrete stone, the primaries are setting a different tone

Hawk said to Raven, th view is so clear, I can see all the way to November from here.

Raven replied in his raven-croaky voice, I know what you mean about the voting People's choice

Not a single one of that talking-head bunch guessed Santorum would up and eat Romney's lunch

They had Mitt up two-and-oh, likely running the table, never guessing Newt would turn out to be ultimately able

To whack the Massachusetts Moderate right on the jaw while reading him the riot act from Carolina law

Now the latest word inside the news today is the way some folks are estimating the ball's in play

They give Obama better odds with every strengthening of Newt in the obvious belief the Prez simply can't lose

Now you know I'm a raven and I'll eat road kill, but I want what they are smoking; that would fill the bill

I know that you're an analyst who understands the game; would you share it with the readers so they'll comprehend the same?

Now you know I'm a raven and I'll eat road kill....
Now you know I'm a raven and I'll eat road kill....

The hawk said no, I'm gonna let young Gato cat do the pontificating since he's where it's at

Sitting in the Border Fort with big gold-green eyes; he can tell us how to tell when the media lies

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So Gato fired up and he pointed out that the polls don't know what they're talking about

Obama's up against it and then again some, and the folks who don't get it are either incredibly dumb

Or else in denial, wishing it weren't true, hanging onto talking points till they turn blue

Remember the election in 2008; Obama beat the John McCain / Sarah Palin slate

But he only really won by six percent and that shows a fact the Democrats resent

Any analyst with even half a brain should admit that those who voted for John McCain

Aren't about to go Democrat this time around...no matter what nominee the GOP has found

Obamacare and other things the people resent have pushed the needle to the right by more than six percent!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the wall and the writing on there is anything but small

Ann Coulter's got her head where the sun don't shine when she says a Gingrich nomination means an historic landslide

In favor of the President is what she means, but I say the lady's been smoking moonbeams

We could nominate a broomstick and still win next fall, no matter what the pundits say, no matter at all

Yes, I know that's true, though I'm just a cat; now Remember in November 'cause that's where it's at!

Remember in November!

Nice poem but the Raven couldn't passed New England but did play its little heart out.

Hey Fred,

Great poem. You know how I feel about the media so you know how I feel about your poem my friend!

I have said it before and I'll say it again. Politics is easier to take in poetic form.
